MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia women’s soccer team begins a three-game homestand with a matchup against Fairleigh Dickinson at 7 p.m. Friday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
“Fairleigh Dickinson is a team that is very, very good,” WVU coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “They have a lot of foreign players that play at a very high level. We need to just do our jobs and every player does their job. We need to focus on the little things that make the big things happen.”
The Mountaineers (3-3-1) enter the contest after splitting a pair of matches last week — defeating Stony Brook 6-1 before falling 3-0 to No. 15 Georgetown.
Julianne Vallerand leads the Mountaineers with five goals this season, after registering her second career multi-goal game against Stony Brook. Vallerand earned the first assist of her career against Penn State.
Farleigh Dickinson (2-4-3) enters today’s match after defeating conference foe Long Island 2-0. Sophomore Lea Egner leads the Knights with eight points (three goals, two assists) this season.
